Goddess Club

Join Grace For the Goddess Circle.....monthly inspiration for women 

Research shows that women crave an emotional and spiritual connection, and that if they receive it, they are ten times more likely to maintain a sense of well-being, balance and resilience. Stress experts agree that emotional support is key for modern women trying to keep it all together. Grace's Goddess Club is a unique woman's gathering designed and intended as monthly "maintenance" for women who complete the Take the Step Intensive, but also open to any woman wanting a more conscious life. You'll be inspired by Grace's wisdom, knowledge and compassion and you'll have an opportunity to share your story and make heartfelt connections with other women on the Spiritual Path. 

ALL WOMEN WELCOME!  Pre-registration is requested by calling 905-688-0868 or emailing our office  leah@gracecirocco.com, but not necessary, please feel free to just show up at the door. Visa/MC is accepted over the phone.

Schedule & Themes:

Jan 16 /08 - Mississauga - Women's Guilt--Spiritual Hemorrhage:  Talk to any woman and she'll spill her guilt about her children, her marriage, her career, her friendships, her health. It appears that women feel guilt about everything! According to research, this guilt is having severe consequences on our mental, spiritual, and physical health, but did you know that guilt kills the Spirit? Guilt is anger turned in, and in this state, the Spirit in unable to feel any joy or peace.  Let's explore your guilt this evening and get real about what's really eating at you. 

Feb 20 /08 - Oakville -When Love Punishes Us--Relationships Gone Wrong.  What was your worst relationship and what did you learn? What wounds are still locked up inside you..and are you still pining for that perfect love, your shining white knight?  How has love opened you up or has it been more cruel than kind?  Whether you've loved and lost or whether you are yet to savour love's perfection, relationships are responsible for much of our happiness or sorrow. Learn the lessons of love and how to move forward. 

Mar 19 /08 - Mississauga -What inspires you? Celebrating the Female Muse.  This is a Special 5 year anniversary of the Goddess Club. You were meant to create. Without the spark of  creativity the soul perishes and the Spirit goes underground. But in order to create, you must feel inspired. This evening your heart will be elated and your Spirit will soar as you experience the talents of Goddess poets, songwriters, musicians and artists. This is an evening of festivities and celebration and acknowledgement of the muse that lives inside us all. Please register early for this one!

Topics in 2007

Jan. 10/07- Mississauga - (This Goddess club one week later) - Getting Past The Guilt Of Success - When great things happen to you, do you embrace, enjoy and celebrate your success or do you downplay your success because of guilt or shame?Do you tell yourself you deserve success or does having it cause you stress? Getting past the guilt of success is our topic this evening

Feb. 7/07- Oakville - Jealousy & Toxic Girlfriends - Have you been the victim of a jealous girlfriend? How do you deal with the insecurity in your women friends and how do you recognize the danger signs? Jealousy can destroy marriages, reputations, careers and friendships. Learn how you can protect yourself against a toxic girlfriend before the damage has been done.

Mar. 7/07- Mississauga - Knowing GOD - Whatever your beliefs, and whatever your religion, there comes a time before your death when you'll crave a more intimate relationship with God, your Creator. What do you know of God and how have you experienced HIM/HER? Tonight, on our 3rd anniversary, Goddesses talk about God.

Apr.4/07- Mississauga - Raising INDIGO Children - Who are the Indigo children and what have they come to teach us? How can we as women, teachers, aunts and mothers ensure these enlightened beings keep their internal flame pure while living in a society that is becoming less spiritual, and more technological and materialistic. How do we get them to protect their Light?

May 2/07- Mississauga - Good Mothers Who Want to Run Away - Good mothers are supposed to be always there, always loving and always comforting, yet according to research too many sane and very good mothers have confessed a secret wish to run free--to escape the yoke of motherhood and servitude and run away from it all. If you've ever wanted to run away from your life, your responsibilities, you're not alone. This month, we'll wash away the shame and dig deep into the mother's soul. What's really behind this all too familiar wish for freedom? 

June 6/07 - Mississauga - Fathers & Daughters - What is (was) your relationship with your father and how has it impacted you and your relationships with men today? Whether you were Daddy's little girl or a tomboy who played sports with Dad, fathers and daughters have a special dynamic that accounts for much of the way we relate to men as adults. Tonight is an opportunity for you to share stories about your father. You can grieve if he disappointed you or you can remember his sweetness. Who was your father and what is his legacy to you and your family? 

July 4/07 - Mississauga - REGRETS & Other Mistakes - Regrets leave a bitter trail in the landscape of our thoughts and when we remember our regrets we feel a host of varied emotions: guilt, shame, sadness, anger, fear. What are your regrets? What mistakes have you made that you wish you could undo?  Come and see how you can get beyond your regrets and other mistakes.

Aug/07  No Goddess club this month

Sept 19/07 - Mississauga -   Family Betrayals - We expect those closest to us to love us the most, yet for many of us, it is these relationships that cause us the most grief.  Why do some of the worst wounds come from family members? What betrayals have you suffered and how are you coping? Is forgiveness possible in dysfunctional families or should we "fire" the blood relatives that have committed the worst sins against us? Bring your family betrayals to this Goddess club and let's work on coping mechanisms to stop the hurt.

Oct 24 /07 - Mississauga (one week later this month!): Shame of Not Fitting In--Are You Weird? 

Nov 21/07 - Mississauga - The Law of Attraction in Action - Everyone knows "the secret" by now, but a question I get over and over from people is how do I practice it on a daily basis to maximize the positive results in my life? Tonight, Grace will give you "the bridge" to the secret. You will experience a visualization technique that is sure to bring success and joy to your life.

Dec 19 /07 - Mississauga - Past Lives - Have you ever met a stranger whom you felt instantly comfortable with? What about a city or place that you feel drawn to? Have you ever experienced a "deja vu"? These could be examples of your soul's past journeys or "past lives" manifesting in your daily life. Even though we don't remember our soul's experiences before birth, some experts believe that this information is still locked within us at some level. Your soul is infinite and immortal and it has wisdom to share with you about your current life. At this evening's workshop, you'll tap into some of that wisdom.

What Women Say about the Goddess Club:

"Hi Gracie! I really enjoyed our reconnection on wednesday's Goddess Club. You feel like an old friend to me (perhaps from many lives ago ;)--the kind where no matter how much time has passed you haven't skipped a beat in loving and recognizing that person. You certainly are one fabulous, inspirational, strong adorable person. Thank you for having the courage to shine so bright, giving us permission and encouragment to do the same.  I am so happy our paths have crossed. Namaste."  Raych, Toronto

"Amazing Grace, I am writing you to tell you how wonderful I am feeling. I am full of energy like I haven’t been in several years. My heart feels so light and serene. I couldn’t help myself today but to rise my hands to the sky and say "Thank you, thank you, thank you God for sending me Grace and my other Goddess girlfriends." The months of December and January have been a roller coaster of emotions. With the highs definitely winning over the lows. Beginning with the moment at the December Goddess Club when I experienced, for the first time, forgiveness for my father during your most powerful visualization, and the peace that I felt afterwards....I realize that I have changed and grown a lot in the last year. It would not have been possible without your coaching, encouragement and love...I am now confident that I can move forward by speaking my truth. I am responsible for my happiness and only my own."  Monique

"I came to the father/daughter goddess club in June. I just wanted to let you know that I love the way you conducted the whole evening. It was very nice to see psychology so alive, rather than the dry, textbook work I've been studying at university for the past 3 years. I also wanted to thank you. I came to the workshop out of support for my mom. I never believed that my relationship with either dad would affect me and my relationships with men, but after your evening, I had an "ah-ha" moment. I haven't had a serious, committed relationship with a man in the last 3 years. I have dated, but nothing ever escalted over a few dates. I think that is because of the role-switch between my step-dad and me. I was the parent and he was the child. I said things like "oh, I don't care if I have a man or not in  my life" and "I don't need a man to make me happy". I can see now that my relationship with my step-dad created this thinking.... " Kira, Guelph

"Dear Grace, I totally enjoyed your last Goddess session on Knowing God, you make us look inwards into areas and feelings that I have never explored, unchartered territory so to speak.   As a ressult I  come away feeling a deeper connection and understanding of Self and the God that is within and wanting to learn more.  Much love."  xo Judy

"Grace, I thank God everyday that you are on my path and in my life.  After attending your retreat and becoming enlightened about my life and my capabilities I realized that I need the constant reassurance and reminder of my authenticity and I get that every month through your Goddess club. The women who attend, regardless of who they are, bring so much beauty and magnificent energy to the room.  How blessed we are to have a place to gather through friendship and love and re-connect with each other..Your programs have changed my life but the magic within all of it is YOU.  You are like no other, a true earth angel with compassion and love that radiates from every cell in your body.  Thank you God for Grace!"   Joan

"Never in my mind, would I have thought that I could forgive my father for his acts. The visualization exercise you did in your December Goddess Club (Topic: Forgiveness & Letting Go) made this possible for me. It was such an emotional and powerful moment. To have forgiven my father has changed me. I am more at peace and I bear no more anger towards him.  I was having supper with my wonderful friend the other night when we started talking about our childhood. She looked at me with a huge smile and said that it was the first time that she had ever heard me saying something positive about my father with such calm and peace. You see, Grace you have worked your magic once more on me." Monica

"I can't miss a single Goddess Club--it grounds me, makes me feel that I'm not alone, and I always, always come away feeling inspired and rejuvenated. Grace, you are a dose of sunshine in my life." Anne

"I loved your "The Burden of Secrets" topic! Up until your Goddess Club, I never thought I would have the courage to share my monster secret to the world. You create such a safe space and for some reason, I felt it was okay to share. Well, today I feel free, alive, purged. I have closure. It was so therapeutic for me. I can't thank you enough." Linda

"Dear Mama Goddess Grace, How well you care for your Goddess chicks! ...Thank you for seeing and feeling your Goddesses long after they leave the shelter of your arms. You bring the sacred to us yet again- even from so far away! Blessings and love to you." Shelley

"Hi Grace, just wanted to say that it was an amazing meeting last night! It was exactly what I needed to hear and the area that I definitely need to work on - as you probably know. Your discussion on the heart and spirit connection really hit home, as I know I have shut my heart down to a certain extent and of course also my spirit. I have been living in my mind and body for years. My heart told me last night that it was feeling very neglected!" Angela

"Hi Grace, I wanted to say Thank You for such a great night last night. My most powerful and memorable moment was picking the High Priestess Goddess card, a sign I interpreted as a message that it's time to take ownership of this Truth. Thank you Grace, for continuing to be a force of love and growth in my life. And Leah....it was a pleasure to meet you. Blessings of Love," Heather

"Hello Graceful Goddess...Thank you for last night. You are the angel my Uncles sent to support me through a time of magnificient change. I feel blessed to have you in my life." Michelle

"I attended your goddess open night in Mississauga this month and was pleasantly surprised to find a warm hearted, informative and interesting speaker,Grace. The perfect name for her. I bought Grace's book and will work through it before the next meeting. I enjoyed the evening and have already mentioned it to two other women.I have something stirring in me and look forward to the new awakening.I thank my friend for telling me. I never new there was a group of Goddesses like this.What a great gift I received." TC

"Wow, thank-you for a wonderful evening. I had some earth moving 'A HAH' moments at the Goddess Club. I have made so many changes since meeting you! I should be your poster child for what can happen when you take the step!" Bonnie

"I just wanted to thank you for your amazing spirit. I am grounded again after Wednesday evening and I am soimpressed with how you fill in the gaps by providing this maintenance for your Goddesses." Sue

"It's been three months I've been coming and I wouldn't miss it. I get so much out of it. In fact, my husband and children notice that I am calmer, happier, and nicer after seeing you and attending your Goddess Club!" Karen

"Thank you Grace for doing this monthly group. I know how busy you are and it means so much to women that you make yourself available like this..." Bonnie

"The best part of these monthly gatherings is to see and hear you Grace; you always inspire me. The next best part is to connect in a deep way with other women. I can't get this spiritual food anywhere else...not even with my best friends...." T.J.
